My old man used to playfully chide my neighbor for buying scratchies. Used to always say, “The lottery is a tax on people bad at math!”

I mean, I could see a ban on Corona, but as I write this it’s 75 in Mexico City. By June, no cold beer in bars is gonna lead to rioting.

This is not uncommon - I’ve encountered it in many places around the US (and worked at a store that did this as well - we had bags for tall boys, regular size cans, and 40-oz bottles). The practice possibly originated with bagging glass bottles so that any glass shards would be contained if the bottle was dropped (any…

The worst things for beer are light and heat.  Corona & Sol are already terrible since they are in clear bottles (not to mention, just terrible beers) but now kept warm!  If this is not a reason to seek asylum in the U.S., I don’t know what is!

The first film was on over the weekend, and I noticed that having Samantha relocate to LA, was not so much an interesting story line, but a way to not give Kim much to do.

What the fuck? No wonder Kim turned this shit down. She’s had to endure enough embarrasing storylines. Remember her humping around, half naked in a conservative, Muslim country? I’m beginning to think they were intentionally trying to embarrass Kim by writing more and more salacious and vulgar storylines for her to…

Yeah, I’ve had enough of Hollywood’s fascination with the sexual exploitation of children.

Crispin is solid, one of my go to’s. I also like Virtue but they may be solely Midwest.

What is it with bell peppers in meatloaf? Somewhere along the way, someone decided bell peppers belong in everything. Personally, I blame makers of tv dinners.

Pharmacist here. In Colorado thankfully so I share this with patients all the time. Word of caution though, it you’re paying cash you aren’t paying towards your deductible or out of pocket maximum. Often it makes sense to pay more (sometimes drastically so) in order to save more money down the line.

When I was a food critic at the Chicago Tribune that was one of the first places I reviewed.

two comments. #1 do not use that car dock in the winter. in the summer, sure you can a/c the battery, but if you have the heater on, you are going to have a bad problem very quickly. #2 regarding the wire holder, I think it is a lack of labeling that makes it difficult. Too many times, I'm looking at something…

I'll vouch for this hack. Simply amazing the rage you can get out of this. In fact, i built one for my grandmother who lives out on a farm. She now gets at least 6 channels that she didn't get before.

The toilet paper rolls? My grandmother was using that trick for 30+ years. When she passed away recently, we went through her trailer, cleaning everything out, and I found a drill that had the cord stuffed into a toilet paper roll, along with several extension cords, a Dremel tool with the cord wrapped up, and some…

I will go out of my way to buy things that come in interesting containers just for hacking purposes, or I'll buy an item since it looks like it would serve a better and alternative function. I currently use legos and left over wood floor board to add a second level to an end table (now desk) and with the first level…

Plopping my iPhone into a cup to increase the volume on it. It looks insane but it works very, very well.

"If you can't stand the idea of having your manager's job, you need to think hard about what's next."

Exactly. It's not something I enjoy doing, and I feel like people don't get it when I say I have no desire to "advance" into management, like somehow I am ambition-deficient because of that.

I have a problem where I like what I do with my special assignments, but that's really only ~2.5 days of work and the rest of my work week is filled with busy work created because my coworkers refuse to learn how to use a computer. I know you have to take the good with the bad but its becoming a problem were I have no…

So what do you do if you expect that work is discriminating you because of a medical issue(stroke) that happen back in 2009. I been working the past 10 years and my co-worker that I trained gets promoted to a higher position(Oct 2012) without even a chance for me to apply for the position itself. I am the most…
